Details

build id: 1999050408 tested on: windows nt the problem: at the above URL, there are often banner ads that, when clicked, do not go anywhere (due to a problem with trailing slashes in relative URLs, most likely). in any case, when you click on the ad, you don't go anywhere, and an error message appears that reads 'Unable to locate host .' The problem is this: the location control is updated to read 'http://'. The expected result is that the location control still shows the name of the page you're still viewing (http://www.abcnews.go.com/sections/US/index.html).
